Chapter 396 The Fifth Hokage
The situation is out of control, completely out of control.
The flow of blood obviously broke the tacit understanding of the ninjas. They began to become more ruthless, and various powerful ninjutsu began to be used. The screams became more and more, and the wounds continued to increase. , and even the death of ninjas occurred. Even though Tsunade and others began to restrict the actions of their ninjas, some of the ninjas who used real fire could not hold back.
"What's going on? Who did it just now?" Tsunade destroyed Loess's Earth Release Ninjutsu with a casual blow, then wiped the rain off her face and asked in a low voice.
She was a little confused about the current situation. It was clear that she had restrained the ninjas of Konoha before, and her main purpose was to snatch away the traitorous ninja who knew the inside story, so that she did not have to kill the enemy, but she still did it. Dead hand.
Once someone dies, the situation will be different. Even whether the Hero's Water can be preserved is a problem. She knows this, so she restrains her subordinates. Tsunade thinks that others should I also know that they will definitely restrain their subordinates.
But the situation is still out of control.
"I don't know, Tsunade-sama, the current situation is very confusing, and we can't tell who made the move first." Nara Shikaku shook his head. Although he is a smart man, he also There is nothing that can be done about this situation.
After all, the five major ninja villages all have a blood feud with each other. It can be said that each ninja has a reason to kill each other. Their family and friends may have died at the hands of the other ninja village. He may even die at the hands of a certain ninja from the other side, so this makes it difficult for ninjas to live in harmony.
If everyone can be temporarily harmonious before the battle, then there is nothing you can do when the battle begins. After all, the battle between ninjas is very dangerous, and a single oversight may cost your life. , it is impossible to ask for mercy at this time.
Even a strong person like Tsunade cannot guarantee that he will be merciful every time. What if the other party makes a mistake and fails to avoid it? Then it’s not about dying.
So there is nothing Nara Shikaku can do. His strength is not much higher than that of ordinary ninjas. He cannot do two things in a battle and observe which side of the entire battlefield will kill first.
This is too difficult, so I can only ask afterward. However, as to whether I can ask the reason, Nara Shikaku feels that the possibility is not high. After all, it is difficult to say that it is a battle. It's not because the enemy made the first killing blow that they were forced to counterattack.
"It seems that the mission has been completed." On the edge of the battlefield, Uchiha Shiori quietly broke away from the bloody battle, and then hid in the distance to watch the situation here.
Just now she put on Konoha's forehead protector, rushed in, and then attacked the ninjas of other villages crazily. With the help of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Shiori faced the unprepared ordinary people. Jonin can also have a very good killing effect.
So she succeeded.
"Not necessarily. If it's just ordinary people who die, then each ninja village may still swallow their anger, unless an important person dies." Kabuto the pharmacist on the side observed carefully with a mask on. He was not very strong. Outstanding, especially in front of these ninjas, it seems even more ordinary.
So he hid in the rear and could only help with suggestions. But fortunately, many years of spy life gave Yakushi Kabuto a certain degree of confidence in how to provoke.
The traitorous ninja was the bait he prepared. It turned out that the other party did a good job and ensured his safety. Otherwise, he would be the one being besieged on the battlefield now.
"Important people. It's too difficult. It's easy to be exposed if you do it." Uchiha Shiori looked at the battlefield and shook his head. Who is the important person? Obviously the leading ninja of every ninja village, Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure Village, and Tsunade of Konoha.
If that doesn't work, you have to have a deputy like Nara Shikaku. Attacking them will definitely prevent the situation from being calmed down easily. But the problem is that on the battlefield, these leading ninjas are basically attacking each other. They have a tacit understanding, and there is no Participate in ordinary battlefields.
In this case, if she intervenes, it will be easily exposed, which will not be good for the adult's plan.
Kabuto Yakushi frowned. He thought about snatching the Hero's Water, but that thing had already been put away by the leading ninjas. If he wanted to snatch it, he would have to take action against the leading ninjas. So, and There is no difference in directly attacking the leading ninja.
"Then we can only wait and see what happens next." Kabuto Yakushi shook his head. In the current situation, we can only hope that these ninjas will lose their senses and attack the leading ninjas. That would be better.
But the situation did not develop in the direction he thought. At some point, after the rebel ninja was 'accidentally' killed, the battle immediately subsided and the ninjas withdrew from the battlefield one by one. , took away the bodies of his companions, leaving only the houses destroyed by the battle and the blood that heavy rain could not wash away.
The body of the rebel ninja was also burned by the fire, leaving nothing behind.
The ninjas are still so ruthless in their work, leaving no room at all. Sometimes the corpses will reveal some information. Since you can't take them away, then other ninja villages shouldn't even think about taking them away.
As the ninjas left, Yu Ninja Village slowly calmed down.
"Okay, now it's time to start the next step of the plan." Uchiha Shiori stood up. This alone may not be enough to cause chaos in the ninja world. With luck, the five major ninja villages are verifying After knowing the authenticity of the effect of Heroic Water, there will be a big fight, and if you are unlucky, it will be a small-scale ninja test.
"Well, I hope my luck will be better." Kabuto Yakushi sighed. He sincerely hoped that his luck would be better this time, so that he could go back to see Yakushi Nonou early.
"It is not the idea of a qualified subordinate to pin that lord's plan on luck." Uchiha Shiori glanced at Kabuto Yakushi. The other person had not yet accepted the gift. According to Amamiya Kenichi, he planned to give it to him personally. A high-level gift.
The same level as Uchiha Shiori’s gift.
Kabuto Yakushi apologized quickly. His interactions with Uchiha Shiori during this period had already made him aware of this woman’s character. She was a little fanatical about Amamiya Kenichi, even so fanatical that it was surprising. extent.
However, he will naturally not express anything about this. Instead, he will work hard to prove his loyalty. This is what a smart person would do.
Before leaving the Rain Ninja Village, Kabuto Yakushi glanced back at the messy battlefield behind him, and sighed silently in his heart. He knew that he was burdened with new sins, but this was a ninja in the first place. , and he was helpless.
After leaving the Rain Ninja Village, the ninjas from the five ninja villages returned to their own villages one after another, and then placed the blood-stained hero water in front of the Kage of each ninja village.
"This is the Hero's Water? It looks a bit ordinary." In the Konoha Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Hero's Water in his hand. This thing looked like ordinary water. The difference, though, is silvery white. "Anyway, each of our five ninja villages got a bottle at that time." Tsunade pinched her eyebrows tiredly. Thanks to Kenichi Amamiya, it is now easier for the ninja world to travel.
And the Heroic Water and the stable source behind it are really very important, so Tsunade rushed back in an airship all the way, and those who died in the battle Or the injured ninja also needs her to be accommodated. She is very tired now.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Tsunade and had to say that Tsunade was really efficient. She came back so quickly, so it was time for him to fulfill his promise.
"Then how to deal with this matter, I leave it to you, Godaime." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and patted Tsunade on the shoulder. Tsunade was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She looked at herself in surprise. teacher.
Although the teacher did say this before, she did not take it seriously, but she did not expect that the teacher actually meant it.
Although according to tradition, Tsunade should hold the Hokage succession ceremony first, but because of the importance of the Hero's Water, Tsunade's succession ceremony was still placed after the Hero's Water.
"Test it." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in the secret base of the root. He looked at the root ninja in front of him, who was kneeling respectfully in front of him.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped down from the position of Hokage, he was old-hearted and chose another way to use his residual energy. He took over Danzo's position and became Mu The leader of the leaf roots.
"Yes, Sarutobi-sama." The ninja in the root drank the hero's water directly in front of him, and outside the deserted root, there was a bustle of gongs and drums.
Konoha is preparing to celebrate the fifth generation Hokage Tsunade's appointment. Tsunade's appointment is about to start a new era, an era that belongs to her, and the carving work of the Hokage Rock has also begun to be planned. Soon Tsunade's face will appear on the most conspicuous rock wall.
But Tsunade did not appear here. She was in the Hokage Building at the moment, and Sarutobi Hiruzen brought up the test results this time.
"Old man, how many ninjas do you think we should send?" Seeing the test result that the jounin's chakra was also increased tenfold, Tsunade's mood dropped.
Hero's Water is real. Although this thing has the side effect of losing lifespan, lifespan loss and death at the time are two different concepts. Tsunade can naturally distinguish which is more important.
It can be said that after the test results came out, Konoha had no way out. Even if Tsunade knew that there were many problems and doubts in it, she had no way out.
The other four ninja villages must also be planning this experiment intensively. Once they discover that the water of heroes can indeed increase chakra, then the village of Takigakure in the country of Taki will become a must-win for the ninja world. strategic point.
"The effect of Heroic Water is real. Although there is no test whether it is useful for people with my strength, but if it is useful, then the importance of this thing goes without saying." Sarutobi Hiruzen After taking a puff of cigarette, he glanced at his student. He was not wearing the Hokage's hat, but placed it on the table.
Looking at this thing that represented the highest power of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very complicated. Fortunately, he had left an escape route for himself. The roots of Konoha were the escape route he had prepared for himself.
"It is definitely not enough to have a small number of people. The country of Takino is relatively close to our Konoha. You can get there quickly by taking an airship, but other ninja villages are not far from the country of Takino." Mito Kadenen looked very worried. Seriously, this thing must be in the hands of Konoha. If not, then it must be destroyed so that other ninja villages cannot get it.
"I'm worried that they might send out the tailed beasts." Koharu frowned as he went to bed.
"Impossible. In the previous wars, tailed beasts have only appeared on particularly important battlefields." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. Tailed beasts are the foundation of a village, but Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's head hurt a little. That guy Amamiya Kenichi actually took Naruto away.
Tsunade took a deep breath. She suddenly felt that becoming Hokage was not a good thing. At least the pressure she was facing was too much at the moment. She was the one who made the final decision. Decisions that could cost countless lives.
But the Water of Heroes
"So." Following Tsunade's order, teams of ninjas walked out of Konoha, and Konoha also began to celebrate the appointment of the Fifth Hokage.
Throughout the ninja world, airships rose into the sky one after another and flew towards the country of Taki.
"Damn it, where is this Madara Uchiha?" In the Kingdom of Earth, Kakuzu was walking on the road with an unhappy look on his face, while Obito, who was wearing a mask beside him, couldn't help but roll his eyes. .
Spot? Madara is still lying somewhere else. How could you possibly find Madara if you don't come out?
But Obito didn't expect that this guy Kakuzu would be so persistent. He had been looking for Uchiha Madara in this hellish place like Earth Country for so long, but naturally there were no clues.
Obito is gradually losing his patience. He doesn't have that much time to fool around with Kakuzu here.
"Senior, should we..." Obito couldn't hold it in any longer. If he kept spending time with Kakuzu like this, he felt like he was about to become a part-time expert.
No one knows how much work he has done with Kakuzu during this period, how much work he has done, it is not enough if he does not do it, it is simply suffocating.
At this time, both Obito and Kakuzu were stunned for a moment. They looked down and saw a warm feeling coming from their rings. This was the leader contacting them.
Obito frowned slightly, why did Nagato contact them at this time?
But it’s okay, no matter what Nagato wants to do, at least he doesn’t have to waste time here with Kakuzu. He really doesn’t want to work anymore.
Soon, Obito and Kakuzu entered the magic lantern body space.
"Everyone, the base is about to change its location." Nagato's first words made all the ninjas stunned.
